Washington: The Obama administration has expressed “surprise" over the dismissal of a federal indictment against Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in the visa fraud case.

“We were surprised by the dismissal of the indictment against former Indian deputy consul general Devyani Khobragade," state department spokesperson Jen Psaki said, a day after a New York court dismissed the indictment against Khobragade.
